APC AP9641 Network Management Card 3 — Environmental

The APC Network Management Card 3 (AP9641) delivers enterprise-grade remote monitoring and control capabilities for compatible APC UPS systems, transforming standalone power protection into a fully networked, manageable infrastructure component. This advanced management card enables IT administrators to monitor and control Single Phase and Three Phase APC UPS units remotely through secure web browsers, command line interfaces, or SNMP protocols, providing critical visibility into power infrastructure status from anywhere on the network. With included environmental monitoring via the bundled temperature sensor, organizations gain comprehensive awareness of both power conditions and environmental factors that could impact equipment reliability.

• Remote Management Capabilities: Access and control UPS systems through web browsers, CLI, or SNMP for flexible administration
• Environmental Monitoring: Included temperature sensor provides critical data center environment awareness
• PowerChute Network Shutdown: Enables unattended, graceful shutdown of physical servers, virtual machines, and HCI clusters during extended outages
• Advanced Security: User-selectable passwords with strong password rules, reset mechanisms, and multiple authentication options
• Flash Upgradeable Firmware: Remote firmware updates via FTP ensure long-term supportability and security patches
• Multi-User Support: Multiple administrators can access the card simultaneously with pre-loaded multilingual interface support

Designed for professional IT environments, the AP9641 is compatible with APC Smart-UPS models featuring a SmartSlot, including SUM, SURTA, SURTD, SMT, SMX, and SRT series units. The comprehensive data and event logging capabilities provide valuable forensic information for troubleshooting power events, while the network integration allows UPS systems to be incorporated into larger infrastructure monitoring and management platforms. For organizations running critical network infrastructure—including Ubiquiti UniFi deployments—this management card transforms passive power protection into an active, monitored component of overall system reliability, ensuring administrators receive early warnings of power issues and can take proactive measures to protect valuable networking equipment.
